Yep, the politicians are beginning to figure out that their taxing of cigarettes as much as they can is backfiring since alot of smokers are just saying this isn't worth it and quitting.
So, already they have spoken of taxing fattening foods which, again smokers warned anybody who would listen would happen.
On the other hand, a side effect of this recession/depression is that the obesity rate may drop.
